Pharmaceutical Science B.S. - Non-Professional Concentration
The Skaggs School of Pharmacy offers two concentrations in the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences. This is the non-professional concentration that is open to all students whose primary career interests are in research and discovery, careers at pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and work in government institutions and agencies. This degree offers a broad pharmaceutical sciences background that will prepare students for work in disciplines critical to the discovery and development of new drugs and therapies as well as agencies regulating these disciplines. While it also meets pre-pharmacy requirements, it is not required for applying to the professional Doctor of Pharmacy program. Courses provided through the Doctor of Pharmacy program will have additional fees attached.
Note: Students enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy program who are interested in the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences should look at the professional concentration in the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences.
